Offer to CAUL (29/9/04)

Potentially interested institutions are:The University of MelbourneUniversity of New South WalesThe University of Western AustraliaMacquarie UniversityThe University of NewcastleCSIROAustralian National UniversityUniversity of OtagoUniversity of New England

For 2005, electronic-only access to all eight IUCr journals (Acta Crystallographica Section F: Structural Biology and Crystallization Communications will be launched in January) back to 1948 for this 9-member consortium would cost GBP16273.54 [ie GBP 1,808 each]. Per library, this represents a discount of 37.52%.

If, for example, one print copy of each journal were required, the package price would be GBP17415.14.

The IUCr journals are also available via Blackwell Synergy but please note that the content only goes back to 2000 at present.

The following universities have full access to the journals from 16/5/03 until 31/12/03 (extended trial):Australian National UniversityMacquarie UniversityThe University of MelbourneUniversity of New EnglandUniversity of New South WalesThe University of NewcastleUniversity of OtagoUniversity of Western AustraliaCSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation)

The International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), a non-profit scientific union, publishes seven journals in association with Blackwell Munksgaard. We are writing to library consortia to let you know that special subscription deals are now available exclusively through the IUCr’s Crystallography Journals Online service.

The special deals provide, at a discount, full electronic access to all the journals currently published by the IUCr and to all issues back to the first issue of Acta Crystallographica, which was published in 1948. Many of the classical and highly cited papers in physical, chemical and biological crystallography and a wealth of information on all aspects of crystallography and structural science are contained within this collection. The journals are as follows:

Australian National UniversityCurtin University of TechnologyLa Trobe UniversityMacquarie UniversityMonash UniversityThe University of MelbourneUniversity of New EnglandUniversity of New South WalesThe University of NewcastleUniversity of QueenslandUniversity of SydneyUniversity of Technology, SydneyThe University of Western Australia

and the librarians have been informed that deals are available for individual libraries and consortia. If these universities (as a 13-member consortium) maintained their current print subscriptions (there is no obligation to do this), they would each benefit from a 14% discount for 2003 and online access to ALL the above-mentioned journals.

Naturally, though, we would like to see all members of CAUL with access to our journals, and should be most grateful if you would distribute this information. If any of the above libraries have renewed their subscriptions for 2003 with the publishers, Blackwell, then it is still possible for them to be included in a consortial deal (they would receive a pro rata discount when any agreement started). However, please note that if any of these libraries have renewed their subscriptions for 2003 via a subscription agent, then we would have to wait until 2004 before including them in any such deal. Subscribers to the print edition of any IUCr journal are still entitled to access the corresponding online edition free of charge.

To purchase a subscription, please send your quotation from the online calculator together with a list of participating sites to me at as@iucr.org. This information may also be faxed to +44 1244 314888 marked for my attention. You will then be invoiced for the subscription by the IUCr.
